I love to fly, I'm a pilot. But he is right. Get some training first. As they say the second greatest feeling is flying. The first is landing safely.

WHY THIS VIDEO IS GOOD:
-Quick to the point
-very descriptive and includes the price
-tell you why it is a good ultralight
-not click bait

Don’t know why I’m watching this when I live in the uk where freedom and fun don’t exist

A family friend thought a gyro copter would be fun after he lost his pilots license to old age, he flew it around here and there in CA, one day while he was at the top of small mountain in Death Valley the engine died, he began to spin and fall, he just made it to the edge where the mountain turned to desert sand where he crashed. He was able to walk away, lucky for him there were campers way out in the desert a mile or so from him, he hiked over and they took him to his truck and trailer miles away. He then gave up flying, bought RC planes to give him a fix.

You can fly these with no license, but have to go through nine kinds of hell to get a license for a 251 gram drone . Is the FAA
fucked up or what ?

[joeyjamison]

The money you save on training can be used to subsidize your funeral expenses.

[AviationNut]

In most European countries you even need a license to fart, so no this wouldn't work.

“Has to stall at 24 knots”
Do they not want people able to evade dogfights easier during everyday combat? 😂😂😂

[Perktube]

Propeller: fan that keeps the pilot cool.
Turn it off and watch him sweat.

[justgrayyy]

I mean $20, 000 isn’t exactly “cheap”, but as long as you can fly, that’s all that really matters!

“But let’s say you don’t have the time or the money to spend on training”
First plane: *20, 000$*

Glad to see you included Peter's contraption. I've been watching him do RC airplanes for years. Thought he was nuts when he built that thing. Nice list. Thanks for a good vid.

[louisturner]

Why don’t more people with DUIs ride around by air! This is gold!

[spacecoast]

Can any of these fly back and forth across the US/Mexico border undetected? Asking for a friend.

[patrickr]

There a video out on youtube of a guy flying a ultralight while drinking a beer and he landed it perfectly with no experience

[dwaynevenzon]

Suddenly while flying one, An American Fighter lines up at you and your computer keeps saying "Engaged"

[stone]

Hi everyone. Private pilot here. I’ve tracked every penny I’ve ever spent on flying. It cost me about $10, 000 over the course of 2 1/2 years to get my full license, including ground school, materials, test prep, taking the tests, etc. (I had 60hrs logged when I took the practical). Last time I checked, that’s cheaper than $20k.... and gave me 60 hours of instructor-based lessons.... and I can take passengers. Just sayin...

[sebastianboth]

To which country does the "no licence" apply? I guess USA?
In Germany u need a licence to ride a skateboard ^^

“If you don’t have the time or money to spend on training” to fly, even an ultralight, then you should not be flying because there is a good chance you will die. Ultralights are still aircraft and whether there is a law requiring a license or not, aviation is (as the old adage goes) “terribly unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity, or neglect”
